I i- . -r - , ? uur "CUS- w wumrj papers i. quite large. In doitg it justice, it mast be said that little tpace has been de Voted to tbe scandal. Merely brief statements of it have been cade in a large majority of tLe papers, and these btatemcnts were so 6baped that Mr. Reecher receives tbe benefit of all doubts of guilt, as be is legally and morally entitled to. How differently with Forney's daily Ycss. If its editorials bad an incli nation, they were against Mr. RecL-Iier, thus leading tbe public to prejudge a case, and thereby violating tbe plainest fundamental law, that a man shall not be adjudged guilty without having first been tried by a body cf competent juris diction. As to the amount of space given by tbe country press, Forney's daily should bo quiet. We have a copy of that paper lying btfore us now that has over tweuty coluums of closely set, fine typed matter of the scandal, aud every line of it against Mr. Reecher. On last Saturday, the day following tbe one ou which tbe delirious article on tbe " Reccber butiuess" against tbe country papers appeared, the Press pub lished four columns and three quarter closely printed matter against Mr. Keecber. We hs.ve sufficient cLarity for out brother of the JVm to iuclino to tbe opinion that what bt does to-day he may forget before to-morrow. If such Indeed be the cocstitution of bis mind, it would be no difficult and inconsistent thing for bim to publish twenty col- nmns of closely set matter in fine type to-day, aud to-morrow denounce some other editor for publishing a d.jZcu or twenty lines on the same subject. 15ut if we inclined to the same uukinduess as that cf the Press, we should say in plain language that the editor of that paper is throwing dust in the people's eyes and pointing off from itself to other objects to conceal its own unfair work. When Mr. Reecbcr has been pro nounced guilty by competent authority, tbe country press will tell it. The truth is the cuuutry press has not much relish for the free love steuch of tbe city, and takes as little of it as possi ble. What science may do in discovery if left, as it should be, to work undis turbed by arbitrary power, only time itself cau unfold. Tyniall, Darwin, Uuxly, and others, are at no satisfac tory conclusion. Whence do tbe atoms come from t hence come the laws for the origin and government of the "Origin of the Species?" Fiotu whence proceeds the law for the ger mination of life ! "It is the finite fry ing to grasp the iu&nite " The .orth American closes an article on the bar rier of religion t9 science , as follows : There is only one instrumentality on which religious doctrine can rely and that is not scientific is absolutely re pugnant to science. Destroy thai and the whole is gone ; so loug as that re mains nothing is done. It is faith. With this, miracle is as rational as tbe commonest occurrences of daily life, and the most incomprehensible is com prehended. Without it, more than half of all tbe supports of religion are brushed away at a blow, and a good show of tbe remainder is attenuated. Science approximates so far ; philoso phy attains this notch ; but the cud is infinite and tbe weapon and its wielder are both finite. Faith is Dot an intel lectual attribute. It abounds most in those of least culture. But it is the only agency by which the religious issue can be established the only barrier from which scientific assault recoils. It has been so from tbe beginning, and the excitement that rages everywhere ! only shows that it is as neoessary and i potential as ever. Lleeting of the Kepuhlican Con feree for the 18th Ccngress ional District. The Republican Conference fur the nomination of a candidate fur tbe 13tb Congressional District, comprised of tbe counties of Fulton, Franklin, Hun tingdon, Juuiata, Ferry and Snyder, convened at Will's Lutel in this place, on Monday afternoon, and organized at 4 o'clock Y. M., by electing S. T. Drown, of Huntingdon county, chair man, and J. M. Fouler jy, of Franklin, and J. K. Davis, of Snyder coumy, secretaries. The following is a list of tbe names of the conferees : Frani!:n Julm I.. Hitcliie, John M. Pmuoroy, Col. Jnhn B. Wcistiing Fulton George A. Pituiau, James Potts, William A. Kendall. Huntingdon Capt. Johu Brewster, Levi Chiyhaugh, S. T. lirown. Juniata John Muthersbaugb, W. Porter Tli.uiji.ion. Solomon Books. Perry Isaac WrigLt, Henry Hoenboltz, George Penrose. Snyder Daniel Boknder, John S. Smitb, J. K. Davis. TLe personnel of tbe Conference was better than that which usually appears to grace such occasions. Fcur candidates were present: Ly ons, of Juniata, Wister, of Perry, Al laman, of Suyder, and Duffield, of Ful ton. Mr. Stewart, of Franklin county, wis not present, aad Huntingdon coun ty did not prescut a cabdidate. After organination, one ballot was taken, with tbe following result : Lyons 3 DuUlehl... 3 Stewart.......... 4 j Allauian ... 3 Wister 5 . When ou motion, tbe Conference ad journed to inee.t at Gi o'clock P. M. At i thd time just designated tLe Conference I reassembled aud ballotted contiuuous- pedilious manner. Several rc3esses of . fi m:Ilutes d.,rat;on we-e taken. On the 78th ballot tbe names of IluffielJ sud Allamau were withdrawn, and the balloting continued 7 times, when on the announcement of the 85th ballot, with no result, thc fullowiug resolution was offered aud adopted : liesotctd, That alter the count of the thjlli ballot tha candidate having the lowest vote shall bo withdrawn. The fc'Gtli ballot was announced as follows : btcwatt. Wister. . Lvotis . la accordance with the provisions of the resolution, tbe name of Mr. Lyons was withdrawn, and the Conference proceeded to take the 87th ballet, at 11 o'clock A. M., which resulted : Wister VI Mewart 5 UulIIcld 1 Xotwithstanding Mr. Dutfield's name bad been withdrawn, one of his con ferees claimed the privilege of voting for bim on the 87th the final ballot. At tbe conclusiod of this ballot, Lyons, Duffield, Wister and Allamao were present. We regret that we were not present at this juncture to hear Mr. Wister, the nominee for Congressional honors, deliver a speech in thanks for the confidence and honor conferred on bim by the Conference. The Confer ence was well pleased with his remarks. We beard the closing remarks of Mr. Lyons' speech. He bad sought the place at the solicitation of friends and with the full appreciation of the honors it coufers, but bad in all the canvass strictly adhered to courteous inter course and fairness, aud be felt satis fied that the work of the Conference had been fairly conducted, and pledged himself to a hearty support of the nominee. Mr. Allaman, of Snyder county, thanked the Coufcrence for the consid eration extended to bim in its varied ballots, and pronounced Snyder county as ready to do her duty to the cauJi date. The expression cf his county was to discharge the duty upon whom soever the Congressional mantle should fall, aud from that there was no appeal. Mr. Duffield was gratified to witness such a flow of harmony. It was an augury of strength aud victory. Ful ton county, though a minority county, never breaks from her mooring. All things arc favorable and auspicious ; we Lave but to keep the ship well manned to prevent surprise, and all will be well. Mr. DulHcld is a fine speaker. A conferee remarked that it was true Mr. Stewart, tLe candidate from Frank lin county, was not present to speak for that section of the District, yet Franklin should be heard from, where upon, by signification, Col. Wcistling arose and remarked : He did not cm tody the person of Mr. Stewart, and could not speak as he personally would do if present, but be could speak in bis own capacity for Fraukiin county. She would stand firmly and unitedly for the nominee of the Conference. Xo disaster shoulJ follow their action or line of conduct, aud when the smoke of battle shall Lave been lifted by the abatcineut of tho struggle in Xovem- ber our lines will be found intact, and victory will rest ou our banners. Our cause is that of tbe right and it must prevail. At tbe close of Col. Weistliu'r's re- o marks the Conference adjourned. The ballots, as recorded, represent considerable fluctuation. At ono time Mr. Lyons was within one vote of making tbe nomination, having received nine votes, and so on a ballot or two it was with both Stewart and Wister, each havirg received nine votes. Hon. S. B. Chasx declines to ac cept the nomination of the Prohibition j Party for Jndge of the Supreme Court. Letter from Kansas. By request we publish the following letter, written bf A. J. X'orth, brother to James X'orth, Esq., of Patterson : Atcbisox, Kas , A tig. 22, 1S74. My Dear Friend: "Bleeding Kan sas" is sorely afflicted, and from the time of Lcr birth no State has suffered as she has. Baptised in infancy even by immersion in tbe blood of ber son, she defended the right against oppres sion and wrong and overcame her dead liest enemies in every conflict. Torn asunder by internal dissensions by the arbitrary power of political ruler, beaded by tbe ever memorable admin istration of James Rucbanan, who slaughtered more governors in the same length of time than auv State known in history ; yet the lived, and grew, aud prospered for a time ; however, imtna- diately after the advent of ber admis sion into the Union, came the deplor able famine-year of 1800. At that tiiu;, too new and too poor to maintain ber people, aid was received from ber older and wealthier sister States that enabled ber to struggle upon meager subststance nntil thc succeeding crops enabled ber to provide for bet self, and for some years bad enough and to spare. But my main purpose is to relate the present condition of the State; but I will preface it with the prospects in thc earlier part of the season. Last winter was one peculiarly favor able. The wheat stood well arid unin jured ; the fruit never promised better, and to all appearances we bad pros pects of the most abundant harvest ever knnwu in Kansas. The spring up to July 1st was exceedingly favorable. About that time, bonever, a drought set in that, for severity and intensity of heat, was never kuown eveu iu Kansas ; and just as the wheat crop was vipen ing the "chinch bug' invaded it, and destroyed probably oue-fourth the en tire crop. Tbe same insect then worked upon the corn, and they, with the con tinuance of the drought, almost wholly ruined the crop. The burning sun was almost too intenss to endure, and tbe wiods and air afloat were like heated air from a furnace, the the thermom eter ranging at 112 to 115 in the shade for two mouths. In fact it seemed to us as the world was ready to burn op, and even yet at this writing the drought continues. Uut sad as this all seems to sound, still another scourge came upon us ; the devouring locusts or gnsshoppers came along aud cleaned us out. Xcarly the whole State has been over-run by them, and in almost innumerable multitudes. They are unlike the common grass hoppers ; they are smaller, aud have wings, which, when spread, give thtm the appearance of the butterfly ; their legs are yellow ; they den't bop lunch, but fly. They fly, and move, aud feed in the day-time, and roost on trees, fences aud such like during the night. They love heat, and the hotter thc day the more tbey stir, and the more they eat. They apptrcntly cover tho whole earth, and devour every green thing ; tbey will breakfast in one couuty and take tea in the next, always reserving the peach for desert, which they will cat, and leave the pits for the people. They '.vill clean up a garden while the family are at dinner. We even bad the family out with switches and limbs to drive them off the wash ing while drying. Yon will find a bet ter description of them than I can give in Exodus 10 : 15, ' For they covered the whole earth, so that the land was darkened ; and they did cat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees ; aud there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field throughout all the land." This was exactly the case here. They actually datkened the sun bj their numbers ; and they remain just as lotg as any green thing can be lonnd, after which they move, and keep on moving, and will, uutil winter freezes them ont. Their course is southeast, and they usually move against the wind. e are the most impoverished peo ple now in the laud, destitute of every luxury, without feed for the cattle, bogs and stock, and but little for man, aud occupation gone, for business cannot be maintained until another crop is raised. Everybody is poor; land will not feed a family, aud what is to become of the people the good God only knows. We know He will provide, but in a way we I know not yet. Truly the famine waxes sore in the land, and we will be obliged to send Joseph and his brethren, or some one else to Egypt or some place else to buy corn, as we Lear there is plenty else where. Xow you are ready to ask, what a country, why not get out of it ? I an swer, a finer country and more produc tive, ordinarily, the Lord never made. Such crops of grain, and corn, and fruit, and vegetables that appeared all over the State previous to theso plagues, I venture to say, few men ever saw. Truly the hearts of the farmers were made glad to look upon them ; but re member our people arc all poor. Com ing into a new country without means, and all Laving improvements to make, they sell off everything as tbey raise it. They are not able to store away from year to year, as in good rich oW Pennsylvania, and all last year's crop is sold and shipped away before the new can be gathered, should there be any ; and as the prospects seemed so very promising in the early part of tbe season, tbey hurried off the old crop still the faster; hence the present scarcity. And wbat makes our condi tion worse, thousands will leave tbe State, ind thousands more, unalle tot get away, must be provided for ; yet we are hopeful that it will be well with os in the future ; and as all lands and all countries are visited by many and various enemies we thiuk the better part of valor and discretion is to re main where we are, and make the best of our lot. Don't think me sensationalist, if I have drawn tbe picture strong. I aim at facts, reluctantly as . we, all over Kansas, are to state the in. Our papers suppress the truth, fearing injury to the State ; but tbe world must know the facta, and sooner or later xcill know, come by what sonrce ihey may. Very truly, A. J. Xorth. In certain portions of Canada they have had no rain for three months. Pastures are dried up and cattle are starving. Mew Advertisement. ORPHANS' COIRT SALE or REAL JSSTATE.
